Please have fun with the hunt, that is what they are designed for. We ask only a few things:

A. Please do not shout out hunt item locations. Should I be notified of you doing this, I will add you to the ban list, and strongly encourage the other shop owners to do the same. Some people actually do hunts for the hunting of it! Please do not ruin this adventure for them.

B. If you see something you really like, THANK the shop owner! They work hard to give you free items.

C. Please SHOP at these stores as well. The NSA Staff worked very hard to find stores that offer quality items. Stores that simply did not have enough Dolly Related items or fit the themes either as Dolly or "The Lost, broken or Unwanted" were TURNED DOWN for this hunt. Those listed below were CHOSEN just for you. Choose them back. :)

AND NOW.... YOUR STORES

1. The Dolly Box Hint: listen really close and you may hear something

2. Filthy Things Hint: Here in my "cell of isolation" I reach a state of desolation Not once finding the realization That this is a self imposed hibernation As doll joints turn into perforations One day I'll face disintegration

3. Spiked Devil Hint: Ready or not here I come...................GOTCHYA!!!

4. Gothic Desires Hint: In the Belly of the Beast

5. LIKKA*HOUSE Hint: "I'm looking you down from the wings." EXTRA HINT: You are her biggest FAN, right?

6. Grim Bros Hint: It takes two, babe. EXTRA HINTS: There are two gifts here. 1. Chillin with the punkins, you? 2. Find me by the icon of fashion GEARing up for the hunt.

7. +++Blue Blood+++ Hint: Get with the group and jump behind the pink!

8. ~PiNkMaReS HoUsE~ Hint: When Walking The Halls Be Careful Because These Children Will Bite...

47. Tigerlily Hint: Have a seat by the gatcha's... you just might find it!

48. ~*{Lethe}*~ Hint:

Female: 1 - From my perch I can see all the comings and goings... but no one's seen me. 2 - I was left, alone, on the steps...when a bird flew by and grabbed me for its nest. 3 - Dante, Poe and Shelley, all in a twirl, I've been hiding for so long, forgotten...

Male: 1 - This flame is my only friend... 2- A tisket, a tasket... forgotten in this basket... 3 - I've been pushed under and forgotten... gathering dust with the bunnies.

Okay... When the hunt begins there will be some LM changes for a lot of the stores listed, so when you get your hunt items.. SAVE the LM's you find inside of them as they will be the most up to date LM's for your favorite stores!!!

I am working on what the hunt item will be that you all will scour SL to find. Be patient my store owners as they will be sent out to you soon, along with an updated poster!! YAY!! And a schedule of the walk through we are going to do.

It is getting closer and closer, but I'm not pulling my hair out this year.... yet. ;) We will see..lol

At 11pm the 30th of Sept. we will have a COUNTDOWN PARTY at the Dolly Box (the starting location) and will be playing music for 24 hours! So if you want the stream information so that you can have it at YOUR store as well.. just ask and we will hand it out!

Saturday, September 10, 2011

We still have quite a bit of time before the start of this adventure together, but I am SO excited!

TO MY STORES:

*If you are in the hunt but do not see you store name listed below or if a correction is needed, please let me know.*If you do not see your store log to the side, please send me another one and I will get it up there!*If you have not signed yourselves up on the subscribo, please do so asap - it makes communication so much easier!*If you need ANYTHING, do not hesitate to ask! Hunts are only as good as the stores within it, and the hunters that scour through them! Without you, this wouldn't be happening!

Friday, August 26, 2011

This hunt will run from October 1 to 31th 2011. This hunt's theme is The Lost, The Broken, The Unclaimed.

Because of the month and the theme this time around we will accept some of the shops that offer a darker, macabre feel that we did not accept previously. So if you have been denied before for that reason, apply again! It will be worth it.

We will be accepting applications until September 10th.

Spots will fill up fast as I am also actively going out to all of my favorite Doll Stores to ask them, personally, to be a part of it as well as the some of the stores that really shined in the first one. This means only a handful of spots will be open for others!

Below you will find the application, if interested.

Ready to strut your stuff?! Well it’s that time of the hunt again. CONTEST TIME! The theme for this year is Ribboned & Ravishing. So that means pull out your favorite outfit and put on your ass-kicking shoes! From April 20th to May 10th you’ll have that chance!

But there are a few things that will differ from last years event, so please pay extra attention to the following:

★ Firstly, once the contest starts there will be a lovely little mailbox at the EoS/UTD mainstore that you will slip your NC Entry into. The information for the note card you need will be at the end of this post and the one you fill out and turn in. PLEASE do this, it makes our lives so much easier.

★ Secondly, The contest will be judged by a panel of twelve judges. The judges will be from all around the dolly world. Also their names will NOT be released to the public, to protect what’s left of their sanity(if they have any left).

★ Thirdly, if the runners in this contest perform asshattery and we (Beautiful Engineer and Rosey Faith), see it…You have the possibility of being disqualified purely on principle. We do not like asshattery. So please be on your best behavior. Also, if it was found that you cheated during the contest.. you WILL be disqualified from entering into the contest.

So now that we’ve gotta that outta the way, I’ll give you some more details of the contest. Like it says above the contest is titled “Ribboned & Ravishing: A Dolly Dress-Up Contest”. So basically the majority of the things you are wearing have to come from the hunt. We understand if you wear RLV and can’t remove it, just please include that in your entry NC and we won’t count it against you.

Your entries for the contest must be SNAPSHOTS. The snapshot cannot leave game, textures WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. We believe that puts everyone on an even playing field. Now you’re allowed to mess with your environmental settings and so forth, but the entry cannot be edited outside of game. Again, we will not accept your entry if it’s textures.

★★★So the part you’ve all been waiting for…PRIZZZZZZES! ★★★

★First Place: Gets a shiny new penny! No seriously, the first place prize is 2500 L and a special custom skin from Beautiful Engineer OR a commission art piece from Rosey Faith.

★Second Prize: Receives a GOLD STAR! No really, the second place prize is 1000 L and a special custom skin from Beautiful Engineer OR a commission art piece from Rosey Faith.

★Third Prize: Gets a swift pat on their butt! No joking, the third prize is 500 L and a special custom skin from Beautiful Engineer OR a commission art piece from Rosey Faith.

The next SEVEN people to place in the Top 10 will receive a hand-shake! No LIKE REALLY, they will receive a custom skin from Beautiful Engineer of }}Edge of Sanity{{. There isn’t a different option here…no either or.

Thank you for taking the time to see this HUGE ramble of information and hope to see you in the contest.

- Rosey Faith and Beautiful Engineer! ♥♥

Ps - if you have a question that wasn't answered by this NC, please send a notecard to Rosey Faith with your question and you'll get an answer back.

Please fill this note card out truthfully and then rename it “Ribboned & Ravishing: -YOUR NAME HERE -” and place it in the mailbox at the store.

★ Name:

★ What part of being a dolly to you enjoy most?

★ Which part of the hunt was your favorite?

★ Are you wearing any RLV? If so, please list here what it is. So we have that for reference.

★ Please list here all the items you are wearing and please include the store name or hunt number. (We will allow you to wear your own shape, eyes, and hair. Those do NOT have to come from the contest.)

★ Please include your entries here, they must be snapshots. Limit two snapshots in your entry. Choose your snapshots carefully.

This doesnt event begin to count how many people are actually doing the hunt. There are so many out there within other groups not related to the hunt group itself that I send the NC for the hunt to as well (I am in several other hunt type groups).

I am so excited!

So many people love what we offer, are curious as to what "dolly is" and cater to us. Why? Because we are a SHOPPING FORCE.

We have grown as a community from more than just odd little clockwork dolls that fit into some fringe category of Steampunk. More than lifesize, walking, talking, Dead Dolls. More than freaky little latex covered beings within the BDSM genre and into a full on genre of our own.

You can see the growth simply by doing a search for dolls within the groups category of SL.

We have someone from FabFree working on a post for us, a full on article on The Torch, the entire hunt listed on SL Freebie Hunters, and it just keeps coming!

I want to thank every single one of our Designers and of course the hunters themselves. Just like last year, we invited all of the tippity top doll fashion designers and several of them never got back or declined. If we keep this up these stores wont dare to miss out!

If you have a favorite dolly store to shop at and you see that they are NOT in the hunt.... MSG THEM and ask that they become a part of NSA3 that will be held in November of this year!

The last couple of years I noticed that some things are lacking... so lets ask our favorite NON traditionally dolly type stores to create a line FOR US! Such as hair, shoes, jewelry, furniture, and houses!

Thursday, March 31, 2011

Below is a list of the stores in order with the hints. THESE ARE NOT LINKS. I want you to join the group! In the group you will find the NC with the LMs within notices as well as a whole community of people to help when you get stuck!

BELOW this list of stores I will post any known issues. These will change as things get fixed. It is with my hopes that there won't be many of these. :) So if you do not see any known issues.. YAY!

Without further adieu....

1 - The Dolly Box"so many pictures which one to choose, maybe choose a pose. "

2 - Filthy Things "Where Filthy Things lay."

3 - Jenna's Whimsey"not much here but look.......a chair"

4 - Spiked Devil"Liquor is quicker but candy is dandee!"

5 - Sakura's Originals "walk through, but i'm not around. Look up and i shall be found."

6 -}}Edge of Sanity{{ "Care to dance?"

7 - *Bad Juju* "Midnight at the Oasis!"

8 - +++Blue Blood+++ "Beneath the fire"

9 - PiNkMaReS HoUsE "You cannot fit within this place but it is where the little dollies reside."

10 - Nightshade Designs "keeps the dollys warm on those long winter nights"

Oh yeah.. not only have they made a kick ass combination of gifts for us to partake of, but just like last year.... they are sponsoring another CONTEST for us!!

Soon I will be getting all the details but the premise is that at the end of the hunt everyone gets a chance to show off the goods! You make a little ansamble of only NSA2 hunt items (100% NSA2 items ONLY... eyes, hair, and skin too!) and take a picture. A group of people will vote on them and the top 3 will get a Linden gift as well as custom items.

There is more.. but the rest will be unveiled later. For now you just get the teaser of it. :)

Tuesday, March 1, 2011

Today is the first notice that I sent out to make the NSA2 hunt "public". Until now it has been invite only, and I am still waiting on a few replies.

I am accepting only 50 stores, and so far I have a little over 30!!

Along the side of the blog you will find the logs of our stores. Take a look for them and check out the goods they gots! Remember that without amazing stores.. hunts suck. So make sure that you browse about and show em a little linden love.

Believe me - THIS hunt doesn't give out crappy items because we are so picky about the stores we allow in. I am also glad to announce that some of these stores are brand new and launching their Dolly Lines within this hunt for the FIRST TIME!

Monday, January 24, 2011

No Strings Attached was a hit that blew us all out of the water! The designers left saying it was one of the best hunts they have enjoyed in a while, and the hunters refused to leave the chat when it was over! I left with the promise that within the year we would do it again! So here it is! Of course I am no dummy and we will host it AFTER the Twisted hunt is over..lol So here's the info you have all been waiting for:

This hunt will run from April 1 to 30th 2011. This hunt's theme is Ribbons and Lace.

I will be accepting applications until March 10th.

Spots will fill up fast as I am also actively going out to all of my favorite Doll Stores to ask them, personally, to be a part of it as well as the some of the stores that really shined int he first one. This means only a handful of spots will be open for others!

This year we will be a bit more picky about the stores chosen as we now have the proof of this hunt being a huge hit - it is with our hopes that some of the larger doll stores that missed out on the first hunt just might be on board this time!

Application:
